The season has concluded and Cassius Winston, inarguably, put Michigan State on his back and led them to their third straight Big Ten Regular Season Championship. Now, Winston gets to enjoy some of the fruits of his labor as award season comes into play. NBC Sports released their All-American teams on Tuesday and they named Winston to their Second Team.
From NBC Sports:
“Winston’s senior season has been one of the biggest talking points in college basketball. He has underwhelmed — understandably so — based on what was expected of him entering the season. That said, he finished the season averaging 18.3 points and 5.9 assists while shooting 42.6 percent from three for the Big Ten tri-champs, a team that will likely enter the NCAA tournament as a top three seed and one of the five most trustworthy teams in the sport. He might not have been as dominant as we expected as early as we wanted him to be, but he still had a damn good season.”
I think MSU fans will probably split hairs about this outcome, but it will never be a bad thing for a Spartan to be recognized in this way.
